The results suggest high efficacy of CT as well as ET in the treatment of hypochondriasis. Cognitive interventions were not a necessary condition for the change of dysfunctional cognitions. These findings are relevant to the conceptualization and psychotherapeutic treatment of hypochondriasis and health anxiety.

Nondisclosure is considered to be a central obstacle to effective psychotherapy supervision. The aim of the current study was the validation of the German version of the Supervisory Questionnaire (SQ; Yourman & Farber, 1996), a short measure for the assessment of supervisee nondisclosure. The investigation was based on a sample of 589 supervisees. Confirmatory factor analyses suggested a two-factor model of the SQ which included one factor describing nondisclosure regarding the patient (α=.74) and another describing nondisclosure regarding the supervisor (α=.71). The SQ demonstrated satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity. Additionally assessed supervisee characteristics accounted for 16% of the variance in nondisclosure. These results provide general support for the reliability and validity of the SQ in a large sample of supervisees.
